Write a script to run several commands ???

[wahaha]

Hi,

I am using fedora distribution. There are few commands i have to enter to for a project involved such as below:

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_redirects


May I know is there possible to write a script to run the several commands in terminal if I don't want type the command line by line?

If yes, can you tell me how to do so? Because I have never do so before.

Thank you.

Just make a new text file :

#!/bin/bash

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_redirects

Name it whatever you want, you can use a .sh extension so you know it's a shell script but you don't have to. Then make the file executable:

chmod +x <whatever you named it>

When you want to run it just do

./<whatever you named it>

here's couple of good sites:

You don't need a separate script to set kernel parameters in /proc/sys. Add the parameters and values in /etc/sysctl.conf. See "man 8 sysctl" and "man 5 sysctl.conf".
